John Greer has a charmed life: he is a professor at a renowned university, a beloved father, and he is about to be named Poet Laureate. He owes much of his success to his wife, Diane, who aggressively shepherds his career. But when their daughter and her new boyfriend return home for the weekend, hidden secrets emerge that threaten to destroy the image he has cultivated in both his public and private lives.

Poetic Licence is a biting drama set against the cut-throat, "publish or perish" world of academia, and explores how one person's past can shape his art, his family and, in this case, his future.

Due to a schedule conflict, actor John Little will replace Geraint Wyn Davies for the final 5 performances of POETIC LICENSE. Mr. Little, who steps into the production beginning on March 1, originated the role at NJ Rep in 2008.

The running time of POETIC LICENSE is 80 minutes, with no intermission.
